Western Expansion with Bee-Bots or Dash Robots
Using the Engineering Design Process, students work in teams to create a covered wagon that the Bee-Bot pulls as they program on a mat from Missouri to Oregon. Students are learning about the Western Expansion on the Oregon Trail as they practice programming algorithms on the Bee-Bot to get to different destinations. Other robots could be used for this lesson.

Students will use the materials provided to engineer a vehicle that is powered by a robot and deliver a treat to a chosen location. Students will use the robots you have. I use Sphero and Edison
In this hands-on lesson, students will be challenged to complete an obstacle course with a Sphero/RVR/Edison through coding. Students will be given a task list to complete and will be timed. Math
This lesson will explore the idea of circuits as the students wire the components of a together to create a working wobble-bot.
